What is the difference between the Philippine and American national anthems?
The Philippine National Anthem, Lupang Hinirang, is a patriotic song that was first written in 1898 during the Philippine Revolution. It is set to the tune of an old Filipino folk song called Ako ay Pilipino. The lyrics of the anthem was written by Julian Felipe, a Filipino poet and revolutionary. The anthem was originally in Spanish, but was later translated into English, Tagalog, and other languages. It is now used as the national anthem of the Philippines.
